Interesting portage upgrade
Hello list,

This is just an observation.

I update the rescue system on this box weekly. Today, portage version 3.0.18
wanted to upgrade itself to 3.0.20-r6, plus 31 other packages, and remerge 16
others. After saying No and emerging portage, those 16 remerges were not
included: just the 31 upgrades.

This is the first time I've witnessed a real difference in portage's behaviour
between versions, as far as I can remember.

As I said, just an observation.

Peter.

Hi Peter,

You are not the only one I saw these phenomes.

What I also figured out, that "blocks" before an portage upgrade also
had been resolved completly.


best, Tamer
